The taxpayer will probably subsidize the fine, just like we subsidize the wind farm itself.

I guess they aren't aware of the three S's....... shoot, shovel, shut up.I think that in this case, it would be "Slap (with a turbine blade), Shovel, and Shut Up. :)

So the Fish and Wildlife guys watch them build this thing, then go check on their permit and fine them? Sound like a set up to me....

Despite reporting the death, the wind farm could face a fine because it does not hold a federal "take" permit that would allow the incidental death of a golden or bald eagle, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. The utility isn't in trouble for killing the endangered animal, it's in trouble for not getting a permit first. Yes, one must get a "permit" to take any of the King's animals.
The wind farm poached.

Do you need a separate take permit for every single type of endangered species? Do they come cheaper if you buy permits by the dozens, or is there an all inclusive take permit for non taking of species? Are they annual? Do they require paperwork sufficient to employ a lawyer full-time?
I must admit, I find the lefty vs lefty angle pretty amusing.

And who really is going to pay the extortion “fine” ... the power users of course. Maybe there should be a multi-billon dollar grant to breed an eagle smart enough not to fly into spinning wind farm units.

Give me a friggin break.
Sure they are going to kill an Eagle every now and then.
Does the Gubmint expect them to have a guy standing out there with a sign warning Eagles not to fly there?
Do they want these things or not, If they want them they have to accept a casualty every now and then.
Just like when a bird flies into the grill of a car
